  The Komodo dragon is the world's largest living reptile. The Komodo dragons are carnivores and will devour any animal they are capable of dismembering and gulping down. They have great appetites for deer, wild boar, water buffalo, dogs, goats, rats, snakes, birds and once in a great while humans. They hunt by ambush by hiding in the scrub brush along trails and in the tall grass of the savannas. The Komodo Dragon reaches lengths of up to 12 feet long and weighs up to 300 pounds. These reptiles are swift runners and climbers. .

            The Komodo dragon is found mainly on the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rintja, Padar and Flores. The Komodo population includes only about 350 breeding females out of 5,000 animals. Scientists are concerned that as human populations grow, the Komodo dragons limited habitat shrinks. The primary threats to the dragon's survival include illegal hunting and loss of habitat to human settlement. The Komodo dragons were sought as trophies by big-game hunters. They were also killed for skin and feet. Legal protection of the Komodo dragon has reduced commercial hunting but they are sometimes poisoned by villagers to protect children and domestic animals. In order to protect the dragon, the Indonesian government has made the islands of Padar and Rintja into nature reserves for both the lizard and its prey. .

            The Komodo dragons are good swimmers and they often hunt in the surf for fish and birds. They carry poisonous bacteria in their mouths. Even if the victim gets away, it usually dies from infection in a few days. The dragon's reputation as a human eater is well deserved, it does not seem to fear humans and many attacks and deaths have been reported.

hey how are you doing today

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
